Iran violated the borders of three neighboring countries, including Pakistan: the United States

The United States has condemned Iranian attacks in Pakistan, Syria, and Iraq, which Tehran has claimed were carried out against anti-Iranian terrorist groups.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said in a statement, "We have seen that Iran has violated the sovereign borders of three of its neighboring countries in a few days."

According to the American spokesperson, on the one hand, Iran is a prominent sponsor of terrorism and instability in the region, and on the other hand, it claims that it needs such measures against terrorism.

It should be noted that Iran launched the attack in Pakistan's territory after similar attacks in Iraq and Syria on Tuesday night, in which it claimed to target Jaish-ul-Adl's bases in Pakistan's Balochistan province with 'missiles and drones'. .

The attacks came at a time when the Gaza crisis in the Middle East and attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen continued.

Pakistani officials said that two girls were killed in the attack in the Panjgur district of Balochistan, which is adjacent to Iran.

Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Spokesperson of the Pakistani Foreign Office, called the attack near the Pakistan-Iran border unprovoked and a violation of Pakistan's borders.

  It was also announced to recall the ambassador from Iran after a 'violation of airspace'.

On Wednesday, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a press conference that they reserve the right to respond to the attack. The Iranian ambassador to Pakistan, who is currently in Iran, will not r2:

The Iranian attack is detrimental to relations and stability in the region, political and diplomatic responses 

Pakistan's major political parties and diplomatic circles have described Iran's unprovoked attack on Pakistani borders as harmful to bilateral relations and regional stability.

It should be remembered that on Tuesday night, Iran claimed to have targeted the bases of Jaish-ul-Adl in Pakistan's Balochistan province with 'missiles and drones'.

Pakistani officials said that two girls were killed in the attack in the Panjgur district of Balochistan, which is adjacent to Iran.

 

Former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif wrote on 'X', 'I am surprised at the violation of the integrity of Pakistan by Iran. This missile attack is against the spirit of our friendship and principles of good neighborliness and harms the historical relations between the two countries. '

"Sincere dialogue and meaningful cooperation between the two countries is the need of the hour."

Tehreek-e-Insaf Information Secretary Rauf Hasan said, "Iran's attack on Pakistani borders is an act of unprovoked and bare aggression."

Describing the reaction of the Foreign Office as apologetic, he said, "Threats of retaliatory action have been proved hollow in the past and no different results are expected this time."

"This is not the first time that our intelligence and security agencies have been found sleeping," said Rauf Hasan.

It should be understood as Pakistan's strategic maturity and not as a weakness.

Senator Sherry Rahman said, "Such attacks harm the Muslim unity at a time when there is a dire need to create forums for joint cooperation while the genocide by Israel continues unabated in Gaza."

  De-escalation will require Tehran to understand that violence and conflict are what non-state actors and terrorists want. This gives them fertile ground for spreading violence.

Pakistan has no role in igniting the fire of such a conflict, but if Iran does not act sensibly, it will obviously have to respond.

Former minister Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed termed Pakistan's response to Iran's attack on the official 'X' account as correct, mature, and impertinent.

 

Mushahid Hussain said, "This shows restraint and stopping the rising tension, but the Iranian government should rein in its 'deep state', i.e., the anti-revolution, whose provocative actions not only harm Pakistan-Iran relations. are delivering but also harming Iran's own interests by destabilizing the region.'

Abdul Basit, the former high commissioner of Pakistan in India, wrote on X, "Iran has been a major cause of division in the Muslim world." It will not gain anything even by alienating Pakistan.

Maleeha Lodhi, former ambassador of Pakistan to the United States and former permanent representative to the United Nations, said, "This attack by Iran raises many questions." It was a surprising move.

A day ago, a high-level Iranian delegation arrived and engaged in negotiations with Pakistan, while joint exercises between the two countries are also ongoing.

In an interview to the private TV channel, Maleeha Lodhi said, "At a time when the situation in the Middle East is tense, there is a war in Gaza." No one expected that Iran would take such an act

It is a fact that for a long time, both Pakistan and Iran have been complaining that you have sanctuaries for terrorists who are involved in cross-border attacks.

However, this issue has not been resolved through negotiations which is surprising. Iran's action was against international law. It was a violation of Pakistani sovereignty.

To a question, he said, "Pakistan's response to the Iranian attack is correct, but instead of overreacting, it should reduce tension." Pakistan has categorically said that there may be serious consequences.

Islamabad expects Iran to apologize and explain why it took this action. Pakistan has recalled its ambassador from Iran. Now we have to see what will be the reaction of Iran.
